Re: Twila and Angel wdyt? nt?
in reply to a message by )(
They both seem pretentious and show-offish to me. Angela would be better than Angel, and just about anything would be better than Twila. In one of the Terry Pratchett books, Death's granddaughter Susan is the governess for Twila and her equally pretentiously-named brother, whose name I forget. But their mother is a social climber who keeps getting things wrong - 'lounge' instead of 'sitting-room' - and correcting herself in mid-sentence.
Ah - looked it up - the brother is Gawain and the book, appropriately for the time of year, is Hogfather.
